Luggage Sales Off... Is This An Indicator?
Stat of the Day: Merrill Lynch's Monday Morning Market Memo for North America shows that luggage sales have fallen two of the last three months after running at a near record rate over the past six months.

He may be on to something here, as I keep hearing and reading the term "staycation." But is this really a new phenomenon, or is it just media hype? Your thoughts, please...
